Guardian blames global warming for new generation of child brides in Africa

Just four paragraphs into her Guardian piece on African child brides, Gethin Chamberlain writes, “Everyone has their own idea of what climate change looks like.”

That doesn’t sound very scientific, but she goes on:

For some, it’s the walrus struggling to find space on melting ice floes on Blue Planet II. For others, it’s an apocalyptic vision of cities disappearing beneath the waves. But for more and more girls across Africa, the most palpable manifestation of climate change is the baby in their arms as they sit watching their friends walk to school.

UNICEF USA picked up on the piece, and its tweet was retweeted by Chelsea Clinton, so expect to hear plenty more about child brides and climate change — what meteorologists would more accurately call, “weather.”

They're blaming child marriage on the fucking WEATHER now? Please get here soon as you can, SMOD, and put us out of our misery once and for all. This level of stupidity is getting to be unbearable! ? https://t.co/xgB8iIpPcp

Fake news blames Climate Change for child marriage when it's actually because of Islam. Quran 65:4 CLEARLY STATES a Muslim man can marry a girl who has yet to menstruate, but muh Climate Change https://t.co/qKjl1tynBK

Wow! You guys are absolutely effing mental, you know that? Just when I think that you cannot come up with any more bullshit drivel, you print this. Yes..yes…climate change is also the main cause for FGM in North Africa ?Bloody idiots.

Umm this is nothing new for this region and has very little, if anything to do with climate change. Selling their children has always been practiced there to support the family. Maybe birth control is the answer.
